Those who seek the truth—they love God, one and all.
In the early morning, though I rise alone, joy is in my heart as I ponder God's word.

Naught else in the world do I love, with my whole heart I love only Almighty God.
Ah hey, ah hey,

Innocents, pulsing with life, offer up your praises to Him.
A dance of joy is beautiful, leap and prance around the throne.
From the earth’s four corners, we come, summoned by God’s voice.
His words of life bestowed on us, we’re cleansed by His judgment.
Love waxes stronger for being refined. It’s sweet to enjoy God’s love.

After witnessing the sovereignty and majesty of the Steller's sea eagle at Pittsburgh National Aviary, it was a wish and goal of mine to see them in the wild if I could.
A trip to Japan in February 2019 provided an opportunity. During these cold winter months, this species migrate to Hokkaido's coastline and rivers starting around November.
I was in Hokkaido to observe tanchozuru, the iconic red-crowned cranes and hoped to include a visit to Shiretoko National Park where Steller's can be seen.
Sadly, my wish did not come true as changes in itinerary and time restrictions did not allow for this excursion...so I must, for now, be content with my memories from the aviary.
What a magnificent bird, sadly they are now listed as vulnerable.

The Winter War was a conflict between the Soviet union and Finland over Finland's sovereignty. The Soviets wanted parts of Finland for "security reasons" and wanted more of a buffer zone for the city of Leningrad. Some say that the Soviets wanted all of Finland but that's debatable.
The Soviets invaded on November 30th 1939, but it was not easy. The Finns like anyone would fought back. Much of their supplies came from Nazi Germany, old WWI weapons and weapons taken from the Soviets. The out matched and out gunned Finns were humiliating the Soviets one dead red at a time. Part of the reason the Soviets were failing was the fact Stalin killed many of his good military officers.
The war ended with peace talks due to the Soviets mounting more offensives and managing to capture more land than they previously wanted. The Finns had to cede 11% of their territory which included 30% of Finlands economy. The war was not a win for both sides. The Finns lost some of their land but were recognized world wide for their efforts. The Soviets gained territory but were humiliated since they could barely capture a tiny nation like Finland.
I've wanted to do something like this for a long time since I've always had some interest in the winter war.
Cheers guys!

Ευαγγέλιο
Ο Θεός λέει: «Πού θα πας κάθε μέρα, τι θα κάνεις, ποιον ή τι θα συναντήσεις, τι θα πεις, τι θα σου συμβεί — μπορεί να προβλεφθεί τίποτε απ’ αυτά; Οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να προβλέψουν όλα αυτά τα περιστατικά, πόσο μάλλον να ελέγξουν πώς θα εξελιχθούν. Στη ζωή, τα απρόβλεπτα αυτά γεγονότα συμβαίνουν όλη την ώρα και αποτελούν καθημερινό φαινόμενο. Τα καθημερινά αυτά σκαμπανεβάσματα και οι τρόποι που ξεδιπλώνονται ή τα μοτίβα σύμφωνα με τα οποία διαδραματίζονται, αποτελούν, για την ανθρωπότητα, συνεχείς υπενθυμίσεις πως τίποτα δεν συμβαίνει τυχαία και πως η εξελικτική πορεία που παίρνουν αυτά τα πράγματα και το αναπόφευκτο των πραγμάτων αυτών δεν μπορούν να μεταβληθούν από την ανθρώπινη θέληση. Κάθε συμβάν μεταφέρει μια νουθεσία από τον Δημιουργό στην ανθρωπότητα, ενώ στέλνει επίσης το μήνυμα πως τα ανθρώπινα όντα δεν μπορούν να ελέγξουν την ίδια τους τη μοίρα· την ίδια ώρα, κάθε γεγονός αποτελεί ανταπάντηση στην τρελή και άκαρπη φιλοδοξία και επιθυμία της ανθρωπότητας να πάρει τη μοίρα της στα ίδια της τα χέρια. Είναι σαν ισχυρά, επαναλαμβανόμενα ραπίσματα στην ανθρωπότητα, που αναγκάζουν τους ανθρώπους να επανεξετάσουν το ποιος είναι, εν τέλει, αυτός που κυβερνά και ελέγχει τη μοίρα τους. Επιπλέον, καθώς οι φιλοδοξίες και οι επιθυμίες τους καταπνίγονται και γκρεμίζονται ξανά και ξανά, οι άνθρωποι φτάνουν ανεπιτήδευτα σε μια ασυναίσθητη αποδοχή αυτού που τους επιφυλάσσει η μοίρα, μια αποδοχή της πραγματικότητας, του θελήματος του Ουρανού και της κυριαρχίας του Δημιουργού. Από τα καθημερινά αυτά σκαμπανεβάσματα έως τη μοίρα ολόκληρων ανθρωπίνων ζωών, δεν υπάρχει τίποτα που να μην αποκαλύπτει τα σχέδια και την κυριαρχία του Δημιουργού· δεν υπάρχει τίποτα που να μη στέλνει το μήνυμα πως «η εξουσία του Δημιουργού είναι κάτι που δεν υπερβαίνεται», που δεν μεταφέρει την αιώνια αλήθεια πως“η εξουσία του Δημιουργού είναι υπέρτατη”. ... »

Iraqi Kurdistan Region (Kurdish: هه رێمى كوردستان عێراق, Herêmi Kurdistan Iraq, Arabic:إقليم كردستان العراق , Iqlĩm Kurdistãn al-‘Irāq , also Southern Kurdistan and in Kurdish: باشووری کوردستان ) is an autonomous,[2] federally recognized political, ethnic and economic region of Iraq. It borders Iran to the east, Turkey to the north, and Syria to the west and the rest of Iraq to the South. Its capital is the city of Erbil, known in Kurdish as Hewlêr.
Etymology
The name Kurdistan literally means Land of the Kurds. The term Kurd in turn is derived from the Latin word Cordueni, i.e. the of the ancient Kingdom of Corduene, which became a Roman province in 66 BC.
In the Iraqi Constitution, it is referred to as Kurdistan Region.[3]. The regional government refers to it as Kurdistan-Iraq (or simply Kurdistan region) but avoids using Iraqi Kurdistan.[4] The full name of the local government is "Kurdistan Regional Government" (abbrev: KRG.)
Kurds also refer to the region as Kurdistana Başûr (South Kurdistan) or Başûrî Kurdistan (Southern Kurdistan or South of Kurdistan) referring to its geographical location within the whole of the greater Kurdistan region.
During the Baath Party administration in the '70s and '80s, the region was called "Kurdish Autonomous Region".
[edit] History
[edit] Ottoman Period
Main articles: Ottoman Empire, Mamluk rule in Iraq, Mesopotamian campaign, and Partitioning of the Ottoman Empire
The area today known as Iraqi Kurdistan was formerly ruled by three principalities of Baban, Badinan and Soran. In 1831, the direct Ottoman rule was imposed and lasted until World War I, during which the Ottomans sided with Germany and the Central Powers.
[edit] British Mandate
During World War I the British and French divided Western Asia in the Sykes-Picot Agreement. The Treaty of Sèvres, which was ratified in the Treaty of Lausanne, led to the advent of modern Western Asia and Republic of Turkey. The League of Nations granted France mandates over Syria and Lebanon and granted the United Kingdom mandates over Iraq and Palestine (which then consisted of two autonomous regions: Palestine and Transjordan). Parts of the Ottoman Empire on the Arabian Peninsula became parts of what are today Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
[edit] Kurdish revolts
On December 1, 1918, during a meeting in Sulaymaniyah with Colonel Arnold Wilson, the Acting Civil Commissioner for Mesopotamia, Kurdish leaders called for British support for a united and independent Kurdistan under British protection. Between 1919 and 1922, Shaikh Mahmud Barzanji, an influential Kurdish leader based in Sulaymaniyah, formed a Kurdish government and led two revolts against the British rule. It took the British authorities two years to put down his uprisings. The first revolt began on May 22, 1919 with the arrest of British officials in Sulaymaniyah and it quickly spread to Mosul and Erbil. The British employed aerial bombardments, artillery, ground combat, and on one occasion, chemical gas, in an attempt to quell the uprising.[5] Then the British exiled Mahmoud to India. In July 1920, 62 tribal leaders of the region, called for the independence of Kurdistan under a British mandate. The objection of the British to Kurdish self-rule sprang from the fear that success of an independent Kurdish area would tempt the two Arab areas of Baghdad and Basra to follow suit, hence endangering the direct British control over all Mesopotamia. In 1922, Britain restored Shaikh Mahmoud to power, hoping that he would organize the Kurds to act as a buffer against the Turks, who had territorial claims over Mosul and Kirkuk. Shaikh Mahmoud declared a Kurdish Kingdom with himself as King, though later he agreed to limited autonomy within the new state of Iraq. In 1930, following the announcement of the admission of Iraq to the League of Nations, Shaikh Mahmoud started a third uprising which was suppressed with British air and ground forces.[6][7]
By 1927, the Barzani clan had become vocal supporters of Kurdish rights in Iraq. In 1929, the Barzani demanded the formation of a Kurdish province in northern Iraq. Emboldened by these demands, in 1931 Kurdish notables petitioned the League of Nations to set up an independent Kurdish government. Under pressure from the Iraqi government and the British, the most influential leader of the clan, Mustafa Barzani was forced into exile in Iran in 1945. Later he moved to the Soviet Union after the collapse of the Republic of Mahabad in 1946.[8]
[edit] Barzani Revolts 1960-1975 and their Aftermath
After the military coup by Abdul Karim Qasim in 1958, Barzani was able to return from exile and set up his own political party, Kurdistan Democratic Party, which was granted legal status in 1960. Soon afterwards, Qasim incited the Baradost and Zebari tribes against Barzani. In June 1961, Barzani led his first revolt against the Iraqi government with the aim of securing Kurdish autonomy. Due to the disarray in the Iraqi Army after the 1958 coup, Qasim's government was not able to subdue the insurrection. This stalemate irritated powerful factions within the military and is said to be one of the main reasons behind the Baathist coup against Qasim in February 1963. Abdul Salam Arif declared a ceasefire in February 1964 which provoked a split among Kurdish urban radicals on one hand and traditional forces led by Barzani on the other. Barzani agreed to the ceasefire and fired the radicals from the party. Despite this, the government in Baghdad tried once more to defeat Barzani's movement by force. This campaign failed in 1966, when Barzani forces defeated the Iraqi Army near Rawanduz. After this, Arif announced a 12-point peace program in June 1966, which was not implemented due to the overthrow of Arif in a 1968 coup by the Baath Party. The Baath government started a campaign to end the Kurdish insurrection, which stalled in 1969. This can be partly attributed to the internal power struggle in Baghdad and also tensions with Iran. Moreover, the Soviets pressured the Iraqis to come to terms with Barzani. A peace plan was announced in March 1970 and provided for broader Kurdish autonomy. The plan also gave Kurds representation in government bodies, to be implemented in four years.[9] Despite this, the Iraqi government embarked on an Arabization program in the oil rich regions of Kirkuk and Khanaqin in the same period.[10] In the following years, Baghdad government overcame its internal divisions and concluded a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union in April 1972 and ended its isolation within the Arab world. On the other hand, Kurds remained dependent on the Iranian military support and could do little to strengthen their forces.
[edit] The Algiers Agreement
In 1974, Iraqi government began a new offensive against the Kurds and pushed them close to the border with Iran. Iraq informed Tehran that it was willing to satisfy other Iranian demands in return for an end to its aid to the Kurds. With mediation by Algerian President Houari Boumédiènne, Iran and Iraq reached a comprehensive settlement in March 1975 known as the Algiers Pact. The agreement left the Kurds helpless and Tehran cut supplies to the Kurdish movement. Barzani fled to Iran with many of his supporters. Others surrendered en masse and the rebellion ended after a few days. As a result Iraqi government extended its control over the northern region after 15 years and in order to secure its influence, started an Arabization program by moving Arabs to the oil fields in Kurdistan, particularly the ones around Kirkuk.[11] The repressive measures carried out by the government against the Kurds after the Algiers agreement led to renewed clashes between the Iraqi Army and Kurdish guerrillas in 1977. In 1978 and 1979, 600 Kurdish villages were burned down and around 200,000 Kurds were deported to the other parts of the country.[12]
[edit] Iran–Iraq War and Anfal Campaign
During the Iran–Iraq War, the Iraqi government again implemented anti-Kurdish policies and a de facto civil war broke out. Iraq was widely-condemned by the international community, but was never seriously punished for oppressive measures, including the use of chemical weapons against the Kurds, which resulted in thousands of deaths. (See Halabja poison gas attack.)
The Al-Anfal Campaign constituted a systematic genocide of the Kurdish people in Iraq. From March 29, 1987 until April 23, 1989, Iraqi army under the command of Ali Hassan al-Majid carried out a genocidal campaign against the Kurds, characterized by the following human rights violations: The widespread use of chemical weapons, the wholesale destruction of some 2,000 villages, and slaughter of around 50,000 rural Kurds, by the most conservative estimates. The large Kurdish town of Qala Dizeh (population 70,000) was completely destroyed by the Iraqi army. The campaign also included Arabization of Kirkuk, a program to drive Kurds out of the oil-rich city and replace them with Arab settlers from central and southern Iraq.[13] Kurdish sources report the number of dead to be greater than 182,000.[14]
[edit] After the Persian Gulf War
The Kurdistan Region was originally established in 1970 as the Kurdish Autonomous Region following the agreement of an Autonomy Accord between the government of Iraq and leaders of the Iraqi Kurdish community. A Legislative Assembly was established in the city of Erbil with theoretical authority over the Kurdish-populated governorates of Erbil, Dahuk and As Sulaymaniyah. In practice, however, the assembly created in 1970 was under the control of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein until the 1991 uprising against his rule following the end of the Persian Gulf War. Concern for safety of Kurdish refugees was reflected in the United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 which gave birth to a safe haven, in which U.S. and British air power protected a Kurdish zone inside Iraq.[15] (see Operation Provide Comfort). While the no-fly zone covered Dahuk and Erbil, it left out Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk. Then following several bloody clashes between Iraqi forces and Kurdish troops, an uneasy and shaky balance of power was reached, and the Iraqi government withdrew its military and other personnel from the region in October 1991. At the same time, Iraq imposed an economic blockade over the region, reducing its oil and food supplies.[16] The region thus gained de facto independence, being ruled by the two principal Kurdish parties – the Kurdish Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan – outside the control of Baghdad. The region has its own flag and national anthem.
Elections held in June 1992 produced an inconclusive outcome, with the assembly divided almost equally between the two main parties and their allies. During this period, the Kurds were subjected to a double embargo: one imposed by the United Nations on Iraq and one imposed by Saddam Hussein on their region. The severe economic hardships caused by the embargoes, fueled tensions between the two dominant political parties: Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq (KDP) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) over control of trade routes and resources.[17] This led to internecine and intra-Kurdish conflict and warfare between 1994 and 1996. After 1996, 13% of the Iraqi oil sales were allocated for Iraqi Kurdistan and this led to a relative prosperity in the region.[18] Direct United States mediation led the two parties to a formal ceasefire in Washington Agreement in September 1998. It is also argued that the Oil for Food Program from 1997 onward had an important effect on cessation of hostilities.[19] Kurdish parties joined forces against the Iraqi government in the Operation Iraqi Freedom in Spring 2003. The Kurdish military forces known as peshmerga played a key role in the overthrow of the former Iraqi government.[20]
KDP and PUK have united to form an alliance with several smaller parties, and the Kurdish alliance has 53 deputies in the new Baghdad parliament, while the Kurdish Islamic Union has 5. PUK-leader Jalal Talabani has been elected President of the new Iraqi administration, while KDP leader Massoud Barzani is President of the Kurdistan Regional Government.
[edit] Politics
Main article: Kurdistan Regional Government
President George W. Bush talks to reporters as he welcomes Massoud Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, to the Oval Office at the White House, Tuesday, Oct 25, 2005.Since 1992, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has been based in Erbil. The KRG has a parliament, elected by popular vote, called the Iraqi Kurdistan National Assembly, and a cabinet composed of the KDP, the PUK and their allies (Iraqi Communist Party, the Socialist Party of Kurdistan etc.). Nechervan Idris Barzani has been prime minister of the KRG since 1999.
After the 2003 Invasion of Iraq Kurdish politicians were represented in the Iraqi governing council. On January 30, 2005 three elections were held in the region: 1) for Transitional National Assembly of Iraq 2) for Iraqi Kurdistan National Assembly and 3) for provincial councils.[21] The Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period recognized the autonomy of the Kurdistan Regional Government during the interim between "full sovereignty" and the adoption of a permanent constitution.
The Kurdistan Regional Government currently has constitutionally recognised authority over the provinces of Erbil, Dahuk, and As Sulaymaniyah, as well as de facto authority over half of Kirkuk (at-Ta'mim) province and parts of Diyala, Salah ad-Din and Ninawa provinces.
[edit] Economy
The Kurdistan region's economy is dominated by the oil industry, agriculture and tourism[22]. Due to relative peace in the region it has a more developed economy in comparison to other parts of Iraq.
Prior to the removal of Saddam Hussein, the Kurdistan Regional Government received approximately 13% of the revenues from Iraq's Oil-for-Food Program. By the time of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the program had disbursed $8.35 billion to the KRG. Iraqi Kurdistan's food security allowed for substantially more of the funds to be spent on development projects than in the rest of Iraq. By the program's end in 2003 $4 billion of the KRG's oil-for-food funds remained unspent.
Following the removal of Saddam Hussein's administration and the subsequent violence, the three provinces fully under the Kurdistan Regional Government's control were the only three in Iraq to be ranked "secure" by the US military. The relative security and stability of the region has allowed the KRG to sign a number of investment contracts with foreign companies. In 2006 the first new oil well since the invasion of Iraq was drilled in the Kurdistan region by the Norwegian energy company DNO. Initial indications are that the oil field contains at least 100 million barrels (16,000,000 m3) of oil and will be pumping 5,000 bpd by early 2007. The KRG has signed exploration agreements with two other oil companies, Canada's Western Oil Sands and the UK's Sterling Energy.
The stability of the Kurdistan region has allowed it to achieve a higher level of development than other regions in Iraq. In 2004 the per capita income was 25% higher than in the rest of Iraq. Two international airports at Erbil (see Erbil International Airport and Sulaymaniyah (see Sulaimaniyah International Airport) both operate flights to Middle Eastern and European destinations. The government continues to receive a portion of the revenue from Iraq's oil exports, and the government will soon implement a unified foreign investment law. The KRG also has plans to build a media city in Erbil and free trade zones near the borders of Turkey and Iran.
The region still gets a cut from Iraqi-Turkish trade, plus subsidies from the United States[citation needed] and Israel[citation needed].
Since 2003, the stronger economy of Kurdistan has attracted around 20,000 workers from other parts of Iraq.[23] According to Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, since 2003 the number of millionaires in the Kurdish city of Silêmani has increased from 12 to 2000, reflecting the financial and economic growth of the region.[24]
[edit] Geography
A popular waterfall near Erbil.The Iraqi Kurdistan is largely mountainous, with the highest point being a 3,611 m (11,847 ft) point known locally as Cheekah Dar (black tent). There are many rivers flowing and running through mountains of the region making it distinguished by its fertile lands, plentiful water, picturesque nature.
The mountainous nature of Kurdistan, the difference of temperatures in its various parts, and its wealth of waters, make Kurdistan a land of agriculture and tourism. In addition to various minerals, oil in particular, which for a long time was being extracted via pipeline only in Kurdistan through Iraq.
The largest lake in the region is Lake Dukan.
The term "Northern Iraq" is a bit of a geographical ambiguity in usage. "North" typically refers to the Kurdistan Region. "Center" and "South" or "Center-South" when individually referring to the other areas of Iraq or the rest of the country that is not the Kurdistan Region. Most media sources continually refer to "North" and "Northern Iraq" as anywhere north of Baghdad.

Iraqi Kurdistan is divided among seven governorates of which currently three are under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government. These governorates are called in Kurdish parêzge. Particularly in Iraqi government documents, the term governorate is preferred:
Autonomous Region KurdistanThe governorates wholly under the Kurdistan Regional Government are:
1. As Sulaymaniyah (Slêmanî)
2. Erbil (Hewlêr)
3. Dahuk (Duhok)
Main article: Kirkuk status referendum, 2008
The governorates claimed totally or in part by the Kurdistan Regional Government are:
4. Kirkuk (Kerkûk) - (all)
5. Diyala - Kifri Khanaqin and Baladrooz districts
6. Ninawa - Akra, Shekhan, Al-Shikhan, Al-Hamdaniya, Tel Kaif, Tall Afar and Sinjar districts
7. Salah ad Din - Tooz district
8. Wasit - Badrah district
A referendum was scheduled to be held on 15 November 2007 to determine whether these governorates, or parts of them, will be included in the Kurdish Regional Government. The referendum is intended to cover all districts of Kirkuk Governorate, the Khanaquin and Kifri districts of Diyala Governorate, the Touz-Khur-Mati district of Salah ad Din Governorate, and the Akra and Shekan districts of Ninewa Governorate. This referendum has been postponed, first to 31 December 2007, and subsequently for up to a further six months. Kurds insist that the referendum be held as soon as possible.
[edit] Demographics
Ethnic and religious distribution of Iraq.The population is about 5-6 million. 95% of these are Kurdish Muslims who are Sunnis. There are also significant numbers of Yazidis, Kakeyís, Jews and Christians. Kurds comprise the ethnic majority in the region (about 95%) while the Turkmen, Assyrians, Armenians and Arabs who reside particularly in the western part of the area make up the rest.
[edit] Culture
Main article: Kurdish culture
A Kurdish woman makes breadKurdish culture is a group of distinctive cultural traits practiced by Kurdish people. The Kurdish culture is a legacy from the various ancient peoples who shaped modern Kurds and their society, but primarily of two layers of indigenous (Hurrian), and of the ancient Iranic (Medes).
Among their neighbours, the Kurdish culture is closest to Iranian culture . For example they celebrate Newroz as the new year day, which is celebrated on March 21. It is the first day of the month of Xakelêwe in Kurdish calendar and the first day of spring.[25]
[edit] Music
Main article: Kurdish music
Traditionally, there are three types of Kurdish classical performers - storytellers (çîrokbêj), minstrels (stranbêj) and bards (dengbêj). There was no specific music related to the Kurdish princely courts, and instead, music performed in night gatherings (şevbihêrk) is considered classical. Several musical forms are found in this genre. Many songs are epic in nature, such as the popular lawiks which are heroic ballads recounting the tales of Kurdish heroes of the past like Saladin. Heyrans are love ballads usually expressing the melancholy of separation and unfulfilled love. Lawje is a form of religious music and Payizoks are songs performed specifically in autumn. Love songs, dance music, wedding and other celebratory songs (dîlok/narînk), erotic poetry and work songs are also popular.
[edit] Military
Main article: Peshmerga
Peshmerga is the term used by Kurds to refer to armed Kurdish fighters, they have been labelled by some as freedom fighters. Literally meaning "those who face death" (pêş front + merg death e is) the peshmerga forces of Kurdistan have been around since the advent of the Kurdish independence movement in the early 1920s, following the collapse of the Ottoman and Qajar empires which had jointly ruled over the area known today as Kurdistan.
Peshmerga forces also played a significant role with coalition troops in the war against the Ba'ath government in Northern Iraq.
The founder of the Sassanid Empire is seen being handed the ring of kingship by Ahura Mazda. In the inscription, which also bears the oldest attested use of the term 'Iran' , Ardashir admits to betraying his pledge to Artabanus V (the Persians having been a vassal state of the Arsacid Parthians), but legitimizes his action on the grounds that Ahuramazda had wanted him to do so.

تاجگذاری اردشیر بابکان
این یادمان در گوشه شرقی محوطه در ارتفاع دو متری از سطح زمین قرار گرفته و با توجه به کتیبههای آن به سه زبان قارسی میانه، پارتی و یونانی، صحنهای را نشان میدهد که اردشیر بابکان (سمت راست) دارد حلقه شاهی را از اهورامزدا (سمت چپ) دریافت میکند؛ هم شاه و هم اهورامزدا سوار بر اسباند و زیر پای اسب هرکدام یک نفر افتادهاست. فرد زیر پای اسب اردشیر باید اردوان (آخرین شاه اشکانی) باشد و دیگری اهریمن.

The investiture relief at Naqš-e Rostam. (Width 6.30m; height 4.20m): it shows Ohrmazd handing the ring of sovereignty to Ardašīr (Schmidt, Persepolis III, pp. 121f. and plates 80ff.; Camb. Hist. Iran III, p. 1079 and plate 90). Both figures are mounted. Under the hoof of Ardašīr’s horse lies the defeated Parthian king Artabanus V, and under the hoof of Ohrmazd’s horse lies a figure symbolizing Ahriman. Behind Ardašīr stands a page holding a fly-whisk. The relief is made more explicit by two inscriptions: on the breast of Ohrmazd’s horse, “This is the effigy of the god Ohrmazd” in Middle Persian, Parthian, and Greek, and on the breast of Ardašīr’s horse a corresponding identification of Ardašīr (Schmidt, op. cit.; M. Back, Die Sasanidischen Staatsinschriften, Acta Iranica 19, Tehran and Liège, 1978, p. 282).
These inscriptions became known in the 17th century through engravings by Chardin (Voyages en Perse et autres lieux de l’Orient, Amsterdam, 1711, II, pl. 73) and E. Kaempfer, Amoenitates exoticae, Lemgo, 1712, p. 307). Being trilingual, they were a great help to Silvestre de Sacy in his decipherment of the Middle Persian script in 1793 (Mémoires sur diverses antiquités de la Perse, Paris, 1793, pp. 106ff. and plate 1), an achievement long antedating the decipherment of the ancient Persian cuneiform script by Grotefend and Rawlinson. Ohrmazd was already named as the sovereignty-conferring god in the inscription of Darius at Bīsotūn.
This is the most mature, and therefore certainly the latest, of Ardašīr’s reliefs. With its balanced composition and fully lifelike sculpture, it falls little short of the earliest relief of Šāpūr I at Naqš-e Raǰab (Hinz, op. cit., pp. 137ff. and plate 73; Luschey, Iranica Antiqua 11 , 1975, p. 125 and plate 29.2).

Παντοδύναμος Θεός λέει: «Ας δούμε τι λέει το πρώτο χωρίο: “Και είπεν ο Θεός, Γενηθήτω φώς· και έγεινε φώς· και είδεν ο Θεός το φως ότι ήτο καλόν· και διεχώρισεν ο Θεός το φως από του σκότους· και εκάλεσεν ο Θεός το φως, Ημέραν· το δε σκότος εκάλεσε, Νύκτα. Και έγεινεν εσπέρα και έγεινε πρωΐ, ημέρα πρώτη” (Γέν. 1:3-5). Το χωρίο αυτό περιγράφει την πρώτη πράξη του Θεού στην αρχή της δημιουργίας και την πρώτη μέρα του Θεού στην οποία υπήρχε ένα απόγευμα και ένα πρωί. Αλλά ήταν μια εξαιρετική μέρα: ο Θεός άρχισε να ετοιμάζει το φως για όλα τα πράγματα και, επιπλέον, διαχώρισε το φως από το σκοτάδι. Εκείνη τη μέρα, ο Θεός άρχισε να μιλά και ο λόγος Του με τη εξουσία Του ήταν πλάι–πλάι. Η εξουσία Του άρχισε να ξεχωρίζει από όλα τα πράγματα και η δύναμή Του εξαπλώθηκε σε όλα τα πράγματα σαν αποτέλεσμα του λόγου Του. Από αυτή τη μέρα και μετά, δημιουργήθηκαν όλα τα πράγματα και κράτησαν γερά χάρη στον λόγο του Θεού, στην εξουσία του Θεού και στη δύναμη του Θεού και άρχισαν να λειτουργούν χάρη στον λόγο του Θεού, στην εξουσία του Θεού και στη δύναμη του Θεού. Όταν ο Θεός εκστόμισε τις λέξεις «Γενηθήτω φώς», έγινε φως. Ο Θεός δεν ξεκίνησε κάποιο εγχείρημα. Το φως εμφανίστηκε ως αποτέλεσμα του λόγου Του. Αυτό ήταν το φως, το οποίο ο Θεός ονόμασε μέρα και από αυτό εξαρτάται η ανθρώπινη ύπαρξη ακόμα και σήμερα. Επειδή το πρόσταξε ο Θεός, η υπόσταση και η αξία του δεν έχουν αλλάξει ποτέ και αυτό δεν εξαφανίστηκε ποτέ. Η ύπαρξή του αποδεικνύει την εξουσία και τη δύναμη του Θεού και διακηρύσσει την ύπαρξη του Δημιουργού, και επιβεβαιώνει ξανά και ξανά την ταυτότητα και τη θέση του Δημιουργού. Δεν είναι απροσδιόριστο, ούτε απατηλό, αλλά είναι ένα αληθινό φως, ορατό από τον άνθρωπο. Από τη στιγμή εκείνη και μετά, σ’ αυτόν τον άδειο κόσμο στον οποίο «η δε γη ήτο άμορφος και έρημος· και σκότος επί του προσώπου της αβύσσου», παρήχθη το πρώτο υλικό αγαθό. Αυτό το πράγμα είναι αποτέλεσμα των λέξεων από το στόμα του Θεού και εμφανίστηκε στην πρώτη πράξη της δημιουργίας όλων των πραγμάτων από τη εξουσία και τον λόγο του Θεού. Λίγο μετά, ο Θεός πρόσταξε να ξεχωρίσει το φως από το σκοτάδι… Όλα άλλαξαν και ολοκληρώθηκαν χάρη στον λόγο του Θεού… Ο Θεός αποκάλεσε αυτό το φως “Μέρα” και το σκοτάδι “Νύχτα”. Από τότε, το πρώτο απόγευμα και το πρώτο πρωινό δημιουργήθηκαν στον κόσμο που ο Θεός ήθελε να δημιουργήσει και ο Θεός είπε ότι αυτή ήταν η πρώτη μέρα. Αυτή η μέρα ήταν η πρώτη μέρα της δημιουργίας όλων των πραγμάτων από τον Δημιουργό, ήταν η αρχή της δημιουργίας όλων των πραγμάτων και η πρώτη φορά που φάνηκε η εξουσία και η δύναμη του Δημιουργού σ’ αυτόν τον κόσμο που Εκείνος δημιούργησε. ...»

Introduction
God's word in this video are from The Word Appears in the Flesh. The content of this video:
Death: The Sixth Juncture
1. Only the Creator Holds the Power of Life and Death Over Man
2. One Who Does Not Know the Creator’s Sovereignty Will Be Dogged by the Fear of Death
3. A Life Spent Seeking Fame and Fortune Will Leave One at a Loss in the Face of Death
Those Who Recognize God’s Sovereignty Are the Happiest
I was born into a normal peasant family. My mother was diligent and hardworking, while my father was a lazy alcoholic. Every time he lost his temper with my mother after getting drunk, my younger brother and I would hide under the quilt with fear. Later, my parents got divorced due to the broken relationship. Growing up in such a circumstance, I extremely hoped to marry someone who cared me and loved me to live a happy life.

Η ανθρωπότητα ψάχνει αυτές τις απαντήσεις εδώ και πολλές χιλιάδες χρόνια: πώς μπορούν και βρίσκονται σε τέτοια τέλεια τάξη τα ουράνια σώματα στο σύμπαν; Γιατί όλα τα έμβια όντα κινούνται πάντα σε κύκλους ακολουθώντας αμετάτρεπτους κανόνες; Γιατί γεννιούνται οι άνθρωποι, και στη συνέχεια γιατί πεθαίνουν; Ποιος έχει καθορίσει, αλήθεια, όλους αυτούς τους κανόνες και τους νόμους; Ποιος πραγματικά κυβερνά στο σύμπαν και σ’ όλα τα πράγματα; Αυτό το υπέροχο απόσπασμα από τη χριστιανική ταινία «Αυτός Που Κυριαρχεί Επί Των Πάντων», θα σας καθοδηγήσει στη ρίζα αυτών των ερωτημάτων και θ’ αποκαλύψει όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια.

Welcome the Return of the Lord Jesus | praise and worship music "God Has Brought His Glory to the East"
Introduction
God gave His glory to Israel then moved it away from there,
bringing the Israelites and bringing all men to the East.
God has led them all to the “light”
so that they may be reunited and associate with light,
no longer have to search, search for the light.
God will let all who are in search see the light again
and the glory He had in Israel,
see God has come down upon a white cloud among men,
see the clouds of white, see the clusters of fruit,
see Jehovah God of Israel, God of Israel,
see the “Master” of the Jews,
see the longed-for Messiah,
and the full appearance of Him persecuted by kings throughout the ages.
God will do the work of the universe and perform great works,
showing all His glory and all His deeds
to man in the last days.
God will show His full countenance of glory to those who have awaited Him for many years,
to those who have longed for Him to come upon a white cloud,
to Israel that has longed for Him to appear once more,
to all mankind who persecute God.
So all will know God has long ago taken away His glory
and brought it to the East. It’s not in Judea,
for the last days have come!

As we approach the election of 2024, something that is on everyone's minds is freedom. As in, what does it mean, and will we still enjoy it after the results of the election are announced. Yale professor Timothy Snyder has written a book on the subject called "On Freedom". I've read it twice this season. It's one of the most important books I've ever read. My entries for this Polaroid Week are based on interpretations of points made in his book.
Snyder posits that there is a difference in conceptions of freedom, one of which is negative freedom, which can be thought of as "freedom from", and positive freedom, or "freedom to". Postive freedom is about enabling free people to live their lives to the fullest, and negative freedom is about preventing anything from preventing you from doing whatever you want. Positive freedom leads to democracy. Negative freedom leads in the opposite direction.
There are five components to positive freedom in Snyder's estimation. The first of these is Sovereignty. Each person is sovereign over their own selves. They are responsible for their own being, their own decisions, their own beliefs. The task of a parent raising a child is to teach them to be a sovereign being, capable of judging right from wrong and living their life in a way that is true to themselves.
My first entry for Polaroid Week represents Sovereignty with a mixed media piece, one of my construction paper people on Polaroid Retinex Type-I film, with a piece of construction paper glued onto the frame so it extends outside the circular frame of the Retinex film.
Snyder's book is available at timothysnyder.org/on-freedom .

Introduction
I
I feel so happy
to follow the practical God.
Never thought of seeing God’s face.
It’s the greatest grace to receive God's judgment
We should care for His heart.
In experience of God's Work,
I’ve savored His love.
Seeing God suffers so much for us,
I realize man is too deeply corrupted by Satan.
I will repay God’s love.
II
I live before God,
enjoy His word every day;
my filth and corruption purified.
God's words becomes the reality of my life.
We’ve received great salvation
Today, enjoying God’s great love in His family,
I’ll no longer while away time.
I set my mind on testifying to God to make Him comforted.
Today, enjoying God’s great love in His family,

Remember well: the Italian Republic is a state to limited sovereignty!
" - The government cannot stay suspended to the thread of a senator chosen in Uruguay! -
- Are enough those of a pope chosen in Vatican and of a president chosen in USA - ".
From the exhibition of Sergio Staino, in Florence, S.M.N. Central Station.
Da www.beppegrillo.it :
"“Il Papa ha detto che non crede nell'evoluzionismo. Sono d'accordo, infatti la Chiesa non si è mai evoluta. Non sopporto che il Vaticano abbia rifiutato i funerali di Welby. Invece non è stato così per Pinochet, per Franco e per uno della banda della Magliana".
Andrea Rivera ha pronunciato queste parole durante il Concertone del primo maggio. Si può condividerle o meno, ma non contengono nessun “incitamento al terrorismo” come afferma l’Osservatore Romano. E neppure mi sembrano “un vile attacco” in quanto chi è vile si nasconde e Rivera ha parlato di fronte a 400.000 persone. Ha espresso un’opinione che i sindacati non hanno condiviso in modo finalmente unitario. Rivera li ha messi d’accordo almeno su qualcosa.
In Vaticano comanda il Papa, o sbaglio? Il Papa ha il diritto quindi di credere in quello che vuole: creazionismo, evoluzionismo, partito democratico, faccia un po’ lui. E se preferisce Pinochet a Welby sono sempre fatti suoi.
Il problema non è la Chiesa, ma sono i nostri cari dipendenti. Che non sono diventati religiosi all’improvviso ma che, alla ricerca del voto perduto, sono stati fulminati come Paolo di Tarso sulla via di Damasco. Perfino Bossi, l’onesto mangiapreti di una volta, si è prenotato a Pavia per baciare l’anello al Papa. E' l'evoluzionismo politico.
Montecitorio è una sede distaccata della Segreteria di Stato del Vaticano? Risolviamo alla radice questo problema. Ritorniamo al Papa Re, a una sana teocrazia. Le cose funzioneranno meglio in Italia. Dovremo subire qualche piccola conseguenza come la chiusura delle fabbriche di preservativi e qualche piccolo fuoco in Campo dé Fiori per i ragazzacci come Rivera. Ma non si può volere tutto: evolvere, essere seppelliti, essere governati da dipendenti laici. W il Papa Re d’Italia!"
2019 Christian Worship Hymn With Lyrics | Christian Music Video | "God in the Flesh Is a Living Fountain of Life"

Introduction
I
The work that is of greatest value to corrupt man
is that which provides precise words, clear goals to pursue,
and which can be seen and touched, which can be seen and touched.
Just realistic work and guidance that is timely
are the things best suited to man’s taste.
Yes, only real work saves man from depravity and his corrupt disposition.
Only the incarnate God can do this,
can save man from his formerly corrupt and depraved disposition.
He shall show man the importance of His work in the flesh to man,
so man may understand the importance, the import of this flesh to the very meaning of man’s existence,
shall know His real value to the growth of man’s life.
And further man shall know that this flesh will become a living fountain of life,
from which man cannot bear to part,
from which man cannot bear to part.
II
Most people have become enemies, God’s enemies, because of this flesh.
Yet when He ends, concludes all His work,
they’ll stop being enemies, they’ll be against Him no more.
On the contrary, they will become His witnesses,
all having been conquered by Him,
become compatible, they’re compatible with Him
and inseparable from Him.
Only the incarnate God can do this,
can save man from his formerly corrupt and depraved disposition.
He shall show man the importance of His work in the flesh to man,
so man may understand the importance, the import of this flesh to the very meaning of man’s existence,
shall know His real value to the growth of man’s life.
And further man shall know that this flesh will become a living fountain of life,
from which man cannot bear to part,
from which man cannot bear to part.

RATP-dev London Sovereign ADE40304 (SN11BVH) enters South Harrow Bus Station prior to forming a route 258 service to Watford Junction.
South Harrow bus station stands on the site of the former South Harrow Omnibus Garage. It been rumoured a year or two back that the bus station would be closed and turned into a car park to entice people back to help revive the historic railway arch market. Since Covid these plans seem to have been quietly dropped.

Best Praise and Worship Music"All Creation Must Come Under God’s Dominion" | How Great Is Our God
Introduction
2019 Praise and Worship Song "All Creation Must Come Under God’s Dominion" | How Great Is Our God | Filipino Song
God created all things,
and so He makes all creation
come under His rule,
and submit to His dominion.
He commands all things,
controlling them in His hands.
Living things, mountains,
rivers and man must all come under His rule.
Things in the skies and on the earth
must all come under His dominion.
All must submit, without any choice.
This is God’s decree and His authority.
God created all things,
and so He makes all creation
come under His rule,
and submit to His dominion.
Everything is commanded by God.
He orders and ranks all things,
each classed according to kind
and by God’s will allotted their positioning.
Things in the skies and on the earth
must all come under His dominion.
All must submit, without any choice.
This is God’s decree and His authority.
No matter how great a thing is,
it will never be able to surpass God.
All things serve God-created mankind,
none dare defy
or make demands of God.
Man, a creature of God,
must also keep his duty.
Whether the master or ruler of all things,
however high his status,
a small human
under God’s rule he still is.
An insignificant human being,
a creature of God, never will he be above God.

April 23, 1923 Independent day of Turkey....
This national day (23 April National Sovereignty and Children's Day) in Turkey is a unique event. The founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, dedicated April 23 to the children of the country to emphasize that they are the future of the new nation. It was on April 23, 1920, during the War of Independence, that the Grand National Assembly met in Ankara and laid down the foundations of a new, independent, secular, and modern republic from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. Following the defeat of the Allied invasion forces on September 9, 1922 and the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne on July 24, 1923, Ataturk started his task of establishing the institutions of the new state. Over the next eight years, Ataturk and his followers adopted sweeping reforms to create a modern Turkey, divorced from her Ottoman past. In unprecedented moves, he dedicated the sovereignty day to the children and entrusted in the hands of the youth the protection of this sovereignty and independence.
Every year, the children in Turkey celebrate this "Sovereignty and Children's Day" as a national holiday. Schools participate in week-long ceremonies marked by performances in all fields in large stadiums watched by the entire nation. Among the activities on this day, the children send their representatives to replace state officials and high ranking bureaucrats in their offices. The President, the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Ministers, provincial governors all turn over their positions to children's representatives. These children, in turn, sign executive orders relating to educational and environmental policies. On this day, the children also replace the parliamentarians in the Grand National Assembly and hold a special session to discuss matters concerning children's issues.
Over the last two decades, the Turkish officials have been working hard to internationalize this important day. Their efforts resulted in large number of world states' sending groups of children to Turkey to participate in the above stated festivities. During their stay in Turkey, the foreign children are housed in Turkish homes and find an important opportunity to interact with the Turkish kids and learn about each other's countries and cultures. The foreign children groups also participate in the special session of the Grand National Assembly. This results in a truly international Assembly where children pledge their commitment to international peace and brotherhood.

Από τη στιγμή που ερχόμαστε κλαίγοντας σε αυτόν τον κόσμο, ξεκινάμε να παίζουμε διαφορετικούς ρόλους στη ζωή. Μεταβαίνουμε από τη γέννηση στο γήρας, στην ασθένεια, στον θάνατο – ζούμε μεταξύ χαράς και λύπης… Από πού προέρχεται πράγματι η ανθρωπότητα και πού πράγματι οδεύουμε; Ποιος έλεγχε την αφετηρία του ανθρώπου και ποιος προστάζει το μέλλον του; Σήμερα, όλα αυτά αποκαλύπτονται…
